This is what Europe has. It's not bad!

They're still plenty racist there but everyone has healthcare.

Donald Trump loves the idea of deporting American citizens to El Salvador—no, seriously he said that.

“I don’t know what the law says on that, but I can’t imagine the law would say anything different,” Trump said. In fact, the law does say something different: it is illegal to deport U.S. citizens.

My research on civil rights movement found nonviolent protests were generally more effective for growing coalition but, in absence of police and vigilante repression, many news outlets deemed peaceful protests not newsworthy.
